Tamar Yonah

Tamar Yonah hosts the most popular English speaking radio talk-show in Israel: 'The Tamar Yonah Show'. She informs people of the political changes taking place in the world and how it affects us. Tamar covers the news, as well as interviews respected authors, journalists, and politicians. You'll be exposed to the burning issues facing Israel and be able to call into the show. Tamar is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. Her father survived the Nazi brutalities and after liberation, made his way to the shores of the British Palestine Mandate, where again fighting for his survival, fought in Israel's war of Independence. This made a great impression on her life and she too has been fighting for Israel by serving in the Israeli army & air force, and afterwards by becoming an activist for Israel and the Jewish nation.

I am close to 50, and every day is still a struggle to do all the things I need to do, or should do. Same with my kids,,, 'Do your homework, clean your room, wash out your dish after you take something to eat in the kitchen", (sigh) it's the same old same old, and of course, the beds still go unmade, I get notes from the teacher, and I end up having a sink full of dishes. It reflects more on me than on them. I'm no Mary Poppins, more like Mary Pooped-out. So why can't we be smart and find the 'element of fun' to motivate our kids and ourselves to make the best choices each day?

I got this video in my email this morning and just LOVED it, and I thought I would share it with you as well.

...Now, if we could only make getting up for Shul on Shabbos this much fun.(Translation: Now, if we could only make getting up for Synagogue on Shabbat (the Sabbath) this much fun.)
